Which statement about ocean surface currents is false?

A) They have no effect on air temperature over land on the coast.

B) They move heat and water between equatorial regions and polar regions.

C) They flow in large gyres in the major ocean basins.

D) They influence the climate and weather of areas along the coast.

A) they have no effect on air temperature over land on the coast is False

Explanation:

warm and cold ocean currents can influence the coastal areas only when the air is blown into the land from the sea. the temperature over the land increases when warm ocean currents heat the air above the ocean. the temperature over the land decreases when cold ocean currents cool the air above the ocean and can bring colder winds to the coastal regions. so, ocean currents play a major role in regulating the air temperature over land on the coastal region.
